fn decode[T](data string) !T

fn decode_array[T](_ []T, data string) ![]T

fn encode[T](val T) !string

encode is a generic function that encodes a type into a HEROSCRIPT string.

fn is_struct_array[U](_ []U) !bool

interface Encodable {
	heroscript() string
}

Decodable is an interface, that allows custom implementations for encoding structs to their string based JSON representations

enum ValueKind {
	unknown
	array
	object
	string_
	number
}

ValueKind enumerates the kinds of possible values of the Any sumtype.

fn (k ValueKind) str() string

str returns the string representation of the specific ValueKind

struct Decoder[T] {
pub mut:
	object T
	data   string
}

struct Encoder {
pub mut:
	escape_unicode bool = true
	action_name    string
	action_names   []string
	params         paramsparser.Params
	children       []Encoder
	parent         ?&Encoder @[skip; str: skip]
}

Encoder encodes the an Any type into HEROSCRIPT representation. It provides parameters in order to change the end result.

fn (e Encoder) export() !string

export exports an encoder into encoded heroscript

fn (mut e Encoder) add_child[T](val T, parent string) !

needs to be a struct we are adding parent is the name of the action e.g define.customer:contact

fn (mut e Encoder) add_child_list[U](val []U, parent string) !

fn (mut e Encoder) add[T](val T) !

needs to be a struct we are adding parent is the name of the action e.g define.customer:contact

fn (mut e Encoder) encode_array[U](val []U) !

fn (mut e Encoder) encode_struct[T](t T) !

now encode the struct

struct Null {
	is_null bool = true
}

Null struct is a simple representation of the null value in JSON.
